One time I was playing drunk and lost my entire bankroll, which was about $35. But I have a friend who can't control himself at all and he lost his entire salary, about $800 in one evening, playing drunk.

For me, the biggest loss was playing poker online in one of the platforms. It's $80 for one night.
But it's okay I compensated later.;):):)

Once I lost 250 dollars, I wanted to make up for what I lost, and I played 10 and 20 dollar tournaments.

Not much, a few hundred dollars. But that's because I don't play when my consciousness was heavily impaired by alcohol 😁

When I was 18 I lost nearly $600 in one night. It made me realize not to play poker for money and to train until I became ready to succeed.

About 10 dollars. I play 2NLHE. Just bad variance and some mistakes. I don't play while drinking, at all, and tend to avoid playing while being tired and distracted aswell.

Helps a lot in limiting losses, but helps mainly in being focused on gaining the big wins.

In online poker in one day $120 and in the online casino in one day $850... for me the conclusion is quite clear - poker is less expensive :)

I lost around 2000 dollars on a trade. Using cfds, kept buying as it went down, was in the trade for a couple of week. Eventually I sold. Within hours, not days a couple of hours, that share started to go up, and kept going for weeks. Even years later I can see exactly where I sold on a graph.

Speaking of poker, my biggest loss is about $120. By the way, I was also drunk. After this loss, I drew conclusions for myself and no longer play poker drunk :)

My biggest loss was $20, no more, but that was all I had in my bankroll. Tilt is very dangerous and if you feel that you are losing control, it is better to immediately stop the game and go for a walk.

My biggest loss $1,100 in Vegas but I had won $3,800 the day before. Just recently I played with in a private game with some locals that thought they were very good and won over $4,000 over two days.

I rarely lose a large amount of money because I play with money that I can lose and if I lose it means it's either a free tournament that I won entry to through free tournaments and it was $109 that I won for free I think it's not such a loss and I didn't lose my money more:D

My biggest loss in a day was $500. But hey, there are other good days when he recovered what he lost. But the advice I give you is to know how to control your wallet.

I agree, playing poker drunk is a very bad idea. I lost, but not much, I just realized that I was playing very badly at that moment and ended the game.
